Official title
An Open-label Single Center, Single Participant Study of an Experimental Antisense Oligonucleotide Treatment for TUBB4A-related Leukodystrophy
Overview
This research project entails delivery of a personalized antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) drug designed for a single pediatric participant with TUBB4A associated leukodystrophy.
Detailed description
This is an interventional study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with an individualized antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) treatment in a single pediatric participant with a de novo pathogenic gain of function TUBB4A mutation associated with severe leukodystrophy with hypomyelination with atrophy of the basal ganglia and cerebellum (H-ABC)
Interventions
- Drug Antisense oligonucleotide treatment (ASO)
Drug: nL-TUBB4-001; Personalized antisense oligonucleotide
Primary outcome measures
- Neurological assessments [Time frame: Baseline to 24 months]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Feeding and swallow evaluation [Time frame: Baseline to 24 months]
- Safety and tolerability [Time frame: Baseline to 24 months]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Informed consent/assent provided by the participant (when appropriate), and/or participant's parent(s) or legally authorized representative(s).
- Ability to travel to the study site and adhere to study-related follow-up examinations and/or procedures and provide access to participant's medical records.
- Clinical phenotype and neuroimaging consistent with a diagnosis of TUBB4A-related leukodystrophy/Hypomyelination with Atrophy of the Basal Ganglia and Cerebellum (H-ABC)
- Documented genetic mutation in TUBB4A
Exclusion criteria
- Participant has any known contraindication to or unwillingness to undergo lumbar puncture
- Use of investigational medication within 5 half-lives of the drug at enrolment
- Participant has any condition that in the opinion of the Site Investigator, would ultimately prevent the completion of study procedures.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
